1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Jia Dongxu...why are you here?" Qin Huairu exclaimed standing at the door.

She didn't expect Jia Dongxu to come to her in person.

"Girl, who is this man?" Zhang Cuilan glanced at Jia Dongxu. Without mentioning anything else, just based on his appearance, Jia Dongxu looked a bit nauseating.

Because he looks really ugly.

In response to her mother's questions, Qin Huairu answered truthfully.

"His name is Jia Dongxu, and he's the person I'm going on a blind date with in the city..."

"Ah? What about Chen Xiao? Didn't you go to the city this time to have a blind date with Chen Xiao?"

Qin Huairu shook his head.

"No... I met Chen Xiao on the road after I left Jia Dongxu's house. He happened to know Aunt Wang, so I introduced him like this..."

After hearing what her daughter said, Zhang Cuilan understood most of the situation.

Then she asked again.

"Then did you promise her?"

Qin Huairu recalled her blind date with Jia Dongxu and shook her head.

"No... At that time, I asked for a sewing machine, but he didn't answer me. Moreover, his mother looked down on me because I was from the countryside. But he didn't say no. He just asked the matchmaker to take me back first."

"Isn't this clearly showing that you disagree? You look down on our country roots," said Zhang Cuilan.

When Jia Dongxu saw Qin Huairu coming out, he was so excited that he walked forward with his hands folded to talk to her.

"Qin Huairu, I'm Jia Dongxu. My mother and I came to your house today to propose marriage."

Just as Jia Dongxu took two steps, Qin Tieniu blocked him with a hoe.

He held the hoe in both hands, pretending to hit something, and then looked down at Jia Dongxu condescendingly.

"You dare come one step closer and try!"

Jia Dongxu was frightened by Qin Tieniu and stood still, not daring to move.

However, he would not give up, but looked at Qin Huairu with affection.

"Huai Ru, cancel the engagement. I will marry you. I have a city hukou and a job."

"I swear I will treat you well forever."

Qin Huairu's mind was full of Chen Xiao at this moment, so how could she be fooled by a few sweet words? Even if Chen Xiao was not there, to be honest, she didn't really think about the reason.

"Jia Dongxu, I've already told you that I'm engaged. Please leave my house immediately."

After saying that, Qin Huairu opened the door and prepared to go back to the room.

"Huai Ru! Qin Huai Ru! No!"

No matter how he shouted, Qin Huairu did not stop at all.

He slammed the door shut.

When Qin Tieniu saw his daughter Qin Huairu returning to the house, he walked forward with a hoe and said a few words.

"Get out of here right now! I'll really beat you up if you don't!"

"Didn't you hear what my daughter said? She's already engaged!"

Jia Dongxu had a gloomy face, lowered his head, and clenched his hands tightly.

The next moment he raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Tell me who that man is! Tell me who Qin Huairu is engaged to!"

"If you don't tell me, I won't leave here even if I die today!"

Looking at the almost insane Jia Dongxu, Qin Tieniu naturally would not say it was Chen Xiao's.

He didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Xiao.

"Get out of here right now, you hear me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Zhang Cuilan without turning his head.

"Old woman, go out and call someone, and tell them that someone is causing trouble in our house."

Qin Tieniu is an honest man. He doesn't want to cause trouble. It would be best if he could coax Jia Dongxu away.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhang Cuilan nodded and ran out of the yard.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jia Zhang pulled on the corner of Jia Dongxu's clothes.

"Dongxu, let's go. She's just a country girl. There's no need to be like this."

"There are plenty of women in the countryside. Even without Qin Huairu, there are still Wang Huairu and Li Huairu."

"Mom, I won't leave. I want to marry Qin Huairu in this life. I won't marry anyone else but her." Jia Dongxu said firmly.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cuilan had already called over a dozen neighbors to the yard. They all walked in angrily with shovels or hoes in their hands.

"Get out of Brother Tieniu's house right now, or don't blame us for being rude!"

The group of people came to the yard and directly surrounded Jia Zhang and her son.

Jia Dongxu was also a little scared at this time. Seeing so many people holding shovels or hoes, he was afraid that they would hit him.

But his inner self-esteem would not allow him to retreat.

Caught in a dilemma, Jia Dongxu's legs began to tremble unconsciously.

"Do you dare to touch us?" Jia Zhang said with a glare.

"Dongxu, let's go. Isn't she just a country woman?"

Qin Tieniu leaned his hoe on the ground and spoke to his neighbors.

"Just let them go, don't do anything."

Then the neighbors made way for Jia Zhang and her son.

Then the two of them left Qinjia Village in shame.

Walking on the way back to the city, Jia Dongxu was at a loss and looked like a walking corpse.

He couldn't accept this reality, couldn't accept Qin Huairu becoming someone else's wife.

Then he pointed at Jia Zhang viciously.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't disagreed yesterday, I might have succeeded in proposing marriage."

"Are you happy now? Are you happy now? I will never forgive you in my life!"

After saying that, Jia Dongxu wiped the tears that flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes and ran away angrily.

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Jia Dongxu had already disappeared.

She also broke down at this time, squatting on the ground and crying loudly.

She was afraid that Jia Dongxu would sever the mother-son relationship with her because of this incident.

"Dongxu, Dongxu, don't be like this. It's Mom's fault, okay? Mom will find you a woman who is a hundred times more beautiful than Qin Huairu. Don't leave, Dongxu."

Suddenly, Jia Zhang raised her head and wiped away her tears.

"It was that matchmaker Aunt Wang who introduced the woman to my Dongxu and also introduced her to others."

"Aunt Wang, just wait and see if I don't kick your door down this time!"

Jia Zhang got up from the ground and went to find Aunt Wang in a rage.

……

When she arrived at Aunt Wang's house, Jia Zhang kicked her door.

"Bitch surnamed Wang, get out here and die right now."

"Today I will scratch your old face."

After a few kicks, Jia Zhang bent over and gasped.

"Who is it! That bastard who kicked my door, is he tired of living?"

Aunt Wang was not a pushover either. She heard someone scolding her and kicking her door.

Aunt Wang ran out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

When he opened the door and saw that it was Jia Zhang, the anger on his face did not diminish at all.

"Jia Zhang, what do you mean? You must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will be rude to you!"

"Hey! You still dare to be rude to me? You did something wrong and now you think you are right?" Jia Zhang's momentum was no weaker than Aunt Wang's. Even if she was holding a kitchen knife, what could it matter?

Aunt Wang thought for a moment and quickly guessed why Jia Zhang was so angry.

"I did something wrong? Haha, you still have the nerve to say that?"

"Are you here because of Qin Huairu? I personally took her to your house yesterday, but your family didn't agree because they disliked her because she was a country girl."
